Eh, it's all relative. Sufficient to have fun? Sufficient to fight over camps? Sufficient to support a trading economy?

Sufficient enough to make players want to log in, I guess. Does low pop deter people from logging in? I've noticed that many people who start here always ask how the population is, and if it's worth playing.

I'm curious. If pvp on red was turned off tomorrow, would half the blue population migrate to red?

Yeah I tried Agnarr server for a month. Some stuff I liked. Most of it I hated. Shame.

Kunark didn't redefine some of the fundamental concepts of the game though. Luclin and beyond was an attempt to copy WoW's success which catered to those who just want to get max level and raid asap. Some people here are guilty of that (thank you devs for chardok ae nerf!) and forget that what brings us here is the "experience" of the grind - no pun intended.

World of Warcraft didn't come out until 2004. Luclin and PoP weren't created to copy anything. They were created to fix all of the shitty aspects of Classic EQ as there were many legitimate gripes about needless time sinks and pointless gameplay obstructions and lacking content. Whether they succeeded or not is a different argument entirely.

Those lucid shards really fixed time sinks!

Perhaps not, but PoK books and Bazaar sure did.

Nah, they just facilitated old content in order to improve access to new time sinks, which is EQ expansions from kunark to beyond!

However, the new timesinks are actual gameplay content and not literally just waiting around for something to happen. You could make the case that all video games are timesinks if you don't draw any boundaries around the term.
